GBDX Overview

Overview of DigitalGlobe's GBDX platform.

DigitalGlobe's GBDX platform provides customers with a fast and easy way to search, order, and process images and their data. GBDX technical documentation will explain how to use our platform to find what you're looking for.
# REST APIs and Services
## Authentication
All GBDX APIs require a token. To learn how to get a token see the [Authentication Course](doc:authentication-course)
## APIs and Services
Our APIs provide programmatic access to GBDX data. Our API documentation includes examples of the requests you can make to each endpoint. If you have a token, you can use the "Try it Out" feature to try API calls.

## Error and Response Codes
The GBDX platform uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate success or failure of an API request. Codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that resulted from the provided information, and codes in the 5xx range indicate a server error.
## API Updates and Breaking Change Policy
We version our APIs when breaking changes are made. Breaking changes include:
* A change in the format or schema of a response.
* A change in response type.
*API deletions or removals of functionality.
We consider the following changes to be non-breaking and backward-compatible, and as such they will not result in up-versioning of the API:
* Adding new endpoints or HTTP methods
* Adding new response parameters or fields
* Adding new optional request fields
In rare cases we will need to make a breaking API change, typically in order to resolve a critical issue. In these cases, we will make every attempt to communicate the change to all users, and give a specific time that the change will take place.​
